No idea of "Kooi Hong" village. From Xiamen to Nanan, you could take train from Xiamen or Xiamen North to Quanzhou.

Answered by Joshua | Oct. 26, 2018 03:08

You need to use the rail service. Most of the high speed rides will go from Xiamen North Station. You can take the airport shuttle bus to reach the North Station and then take the rail. It is recommended to buy the tickets in advance as they sold out sometimes on the travel date. To buy a ticket or collect a ticket on spot, the airport would not work, only railway station.

It is not possible to reach Fuzhou at 1pm. It may take you around 1 hour at the airport for the immigration, about 1 hour for the shuttle bus to North Station (waiting and transfer). You also need at least 1 hour for the ticket collection or buying a ticket at railway station.

Transport from Xiamen airport to Pingtan

Will arrive at Xiamen intl airport on 16 Dec, 2018, around 11am, with 5 pax, what is the straight/faster way to travel to Pingtan?

Answers (1)

Answered by Jeanne | Sep. 30, 2018 00:13

I read that there is bus to Pingtan taking around 3.5 or 4 hours. There seems a bus around 1pm at Fanghu bus station and Jimei bus station, not sure if you are able to get it.

If not, you may go to the railway station by bus first and then take the high speed ride to Fuqing. Finally change to the bus to Pingtan.

Can I take train from Shantou to Xiamen? If so, which railway station should I alight?

Answers (1)

Answered by Nellie | Apr. 07, 2018 21:33

I think there is no direct rail service between Shantou and Xiamen. You may need to take a bus or taxi to Chaoshan station first and then take a high speed train to Xiamen. Some of the rides stop at Xiamen Railway Station and some use the North Station. You can choose the one you need based on the schedule.
